Chapter38 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring Protocol-Independent Features
To use PBR, you must first enable the routing template by using the sdm prefer routing global
configuration command. PBR is not supported with the VLAN or default template. For more
information on the SDM templates, see Chapter8, “ Co nfiguring SD M Templates.”
VRF and PBR are mutually exclusive on a switch interface. You cannot enable VRF when PBR is
enabled on an interface. The reverse is also true, you cannot enable PBR when VRF is enabled on
an interface.
Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) and PBR are mutually exclusive on a switch
interface. You cannot enable WCCP when PBR is enabled on an interface. The reverse is also true,
you cannot enable PBR when WCCP is enabled on an interface.
The number of hardware entries used by PBR depends on the route map itself, the ACLs used, and
the order of the ACLs and route-map entries.
Policy-based routing based on packet length, TOS, set interface, set default next hop, or set default
interface are not supported. Policy maps with no valid set actions or with set action set to Don’t
Fragmen t are not supported.
The switch supports QoS DSCP and IP precedence matching in PBR route maps, with these
limitations:
You cannot apply QoS DSCP mutation maps and PBR route maps to the same interface.
You cannot configure DSCP transparency and PBR DSCP route maps on the same switch.
When you configure PBR with QoS DSCP, you can set QoS to be enabled (by entering the mls
qos global configuration command) or disabled (by entering the no mls qos command). When
QoS is enabled, to ensure that the DSCP value of the traffic is unchanged, you should configure
DSCP trust state on the port where traffic enters the switch by entering the mls qos trust dscp
interface configuration command. If the trust state is not DSCP , b y def ault all n ontrusted traf f ic
would have the DSCP value marked as 0.
Enabling PBR
By default, PBR is disabled on the switch. To enable PBR, you must create a route map that speci fies
the match criteria and the resulting action if all of the match clauses are met. Then, you must enable PBR
for that route map on an interface. All packets arriving on the specified interface matching the match
clauses are subject to PBR.
PBR can be fast-switched or implemented at speeds that do not slow down the switch. Fast-switched
PBR supports most match and set commands. PBR must be enabled befo re y ou en ab le fa st-swi tched
PBR. Fast-switched PBR is disabled by default.
Packets that are generated by the switch, or local packets, are not normally policy-routed. When you
globally enable local PBR on the switch, all packets that originate on the switch are subject to loca l PBR.
Local PBR is disabled by default.
Note To enable PBR, the switch or stack master must be running the IP services feature set.
